Simba SC in trouble for tapping up Bernard Morrison

Simba FC have been reported to the Tanzanian Football Federation (TFF) by rivals Young Africans for tapping up midfielder Bernard Morrison.

Yanga are alleging the Msimbazi Reds made an illegal offer of US$ 5,000 to hijack the move for the Ghanaian.

Morrison recently claimed that he was given the mentioned amount from a Simba agent.

He said: "I got a message from one agent of Simba who said the club wants to sign me so that I can help them in CAF Champions League (CAF CL) games next season.

"I told him to send me the offer via my WhatsApp address but he did not and instead, he personally brought it together with 10,000 dollars, which he said was sent by the club's president saying that if I accept, we should share the amount equally with him.''

Yanga's Information Officer Hassan Bumbuli expects the TFF to take action after presenting all evidences to the country's football governing body.

"Since the matter has been taken to the concerned authorities, I cannot say much but rather to let them conduct their work thoroughly while we wait for their final decision," he said.

In their response, Simba spokesperson Haji Manara rebutted the claims by Morrison.

"In his audio clip, Morrison said the money was sent to him by Simba president but at Simba, we do not have a president as such, I do not really understand what he is talking about," he said.
